JANNES HENDRIKZ, director
Compositor and Creative Director for artistic group The
Blackheart Gang based in Cape Town, South Africa.Jannes started
working as a professional compositor at a post-production
company in Cape Town called Refinery working on VFX TV
commercials. The environment offered many opportunities that
lead to the making of Ringo, Blackheart Gang's first film.
Jannes then moved to a company called Blackginger working on
many international commercials offering him great technical
experience and enough knowledge to start the next big challenge,
The Tale of How.
With all its successes, Tale of How proved that artistic
integrity still exists in our world today and it was decided
that working for other people and executing their ideas was now
a senseless thing to continue. So Jannes quit Blackginger to
start his own company with Ree called Shy the Sun. They
co-direct commercials, and Shy the Sun is sighned up with Duck
Studios in America and with Passion Pictures in Europe who
represent them as TVC directors.
